Job Title: SoC Design Engineer
Job Duties:
Be responsible for digital design of ASIC cores within image sensor SoC products, including IP design, analysis, integration, and validation. Collaborate with physical design teams on floor-planning, timing closure, and DFT implementation. Conduct timing control logic design and static timing analysis (STA) for sensor interfaces and mixed-signal integration. Perform chip bring-up, validation and debugging. Design, integrate and validate data pipeline according to PRD/design specification and system architecture of SoC products, following ASIC design flow: coding, simulation, synthesis, static timing analysis, formality verification, DFT, using Simvision, EDA tools such as Prime Time, cadence Virtuoso, Design Compiler, Integrator, and Verilog and System Verilog programming languages etc. Conduct design verification and modeling using SVA, Python, Perl, C++/C, and HLS. Work with digital and analog engineers for system design, integration and validation. Work with algorithm engineers for module level design, including hardware C model implementation, micro architecture design, RTL design and hardware/software co-simulation. Work with algorithm and application engineers for project-based microarchitecture improvements. Conduct silicon validation, debugging and tuning.
Requirements:
Master’s degree or foreign equivalent degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Required skills and/or academic training in the following:
- Arithmetic circuit design related to general datapath circuits, ML and AI circuits.
- Arithmetic circuit design, timing analysis; synchronous and asynchronous FSMs; power, test, and debug.
- Design and design debug with System Verilog; Logic design and analysis.
- Processing Subsystem, including superscalar out-of-order cores, multicore and heterogeneous processors, and purpose-specific accelerators.
